hi all,
thanks, helen, hopefully my project will provide some usage insight into how
consistent this cross-referencing actually is.
cheers,
michael

microarray provenance
Interesting question and one we've been discussing in other contexts. HGNC
is only valid for human genes of course, and not all species have this
type of sign off on ids. I would use an Ensembl id, from there you can get
other id cross references

I meant: what are valid and/or (minimally) required ways to refer to a
gene? Is it enough to just give the HGNC symbol? Could I instead just
use entrez or ensembl ids?
